Enjoy this wonderful & affordable year-round little home with million dollar views of Lake Champlain and Butler Island. You have front row seats for breath-taking sunsets and star-gazing all while enjoying the natural landscape. The backyard offers a nice buffer and wooded area filled with native wildlife. The side deck is great for socializing or just relaxing with your morning cup of tea or coffee. The interior is filled with warm natural light that is soothing and brightens up the entire living room, kitchen and dining area. It's a 1-2 bedroom home but could be converted to a 3 bedroom house. Town has listed as 3 bedrooms, but part of third room currently used for utilities. There is so much potential to make this little camp your own. Currently rustic with some unfinished spaces, you could play up the campy feel or completely transform it into something else. The home has been converted for year round living, so you can make it your permanent home or a vacation getaway. It sets back off the road with a large, level front yard for even more privacy from neighbors and passersby. The home is on leased land with a 25 year lease which was re-signed in 2019. Ready for immediate occupancy, there is plenty of time to get ready for the warm weather so you can enjoy life on the lake.
